In response to your request for a Fiscal Note on HB65 ( relating 
to increases in tuition and fees charged by public institutions 
of higher education) this office has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB65-As Engrossed
         
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 

The bill would prohibit an institution from increasing tuition 
and fee charges for a semester or summer term after students 
register for the term.  It is assumed that institutions would 
establish tuition and fee charges for a semester or summer term 
prior to pre-registration for the semester or term.
          
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
